Nepal Teacher Development
One of the crucial issues for quality education has been Teacher Development. Most of the Public Schools have untrained and unqualified teachers (more than 60%). This is mostly at the primary level of formal education which is commonly regarded as the foundation of quality education. We therefore aim to promote quality education through the development of teachers. The organization has been conducting various activities, e.g. workshops, teacher trainings, interactions, seminars, exchange visits, individual supports. Many of the teachers have been benefiting from such programs - VIN has observed a significant change in their classroom behaviors and found positive impact upon students' learning. The organization conducts teacher training and other activities under its cluster (in one cluster there are 7 schools) approach.

Volunteers in the Teacher Development Program have also been supporting teachers by providing teaching materials and sharing their own experiences achieved from their home countries. If you are interested in teacher development, you are encouraged to conduct any activities that support teacher development. Your small support can make a big difference in the education of these children. We also aim to launch teacher exchange programs across countries so that teachers from both sides can widen their horizon of knowledge in the field. We hope to find the right partners to initiate such a School Linking program from any part of the world. You can also volunteer from your own country by sharing this information with interested schools.
